3Christmas Reflections is an arrangement of three Christmas carols. The first carol, The Friendly Beasts, is a traditional English carol. It is based on an old belief that farm animals receive the gift of speech at midnight on Christmas eve. The second carol is a traditional carol from Austria. As Lately We Watched is a description of the nativity scene as observed by shepherds guarding their flocks. The third carol in the arrangement, O Come Little Children, was written by German composer, J. A. P. Schulz (1747-1800). Schulz studied music in Berlin and was a prolific composer of sacred vocal music. He also composed operettas, instrumental works, and various piano pieces. The carol is an invitation for all people, especially children, to visit the nativity.

The journey from Advent to Christmas is filled with vivid images of beloved traditions: the lighting of candles and Christmas trees as the light of Christ glows with increasing intensity; decorations of evergreens, symbols of the promise of rebirth; the emergence of stars atop the trees to guide the pilgrim journey; the presentation of gifts in celebration of God's great gift to us all. Throughout the centuries, believers have sung carols that celebrate these traditions, and A Garland of Carols combines these elements. It includes five suites, one for each Sunday in Advent and a fifth for Christmas Eve. Each includes an opening carol for choir and a closing medley for choir and optional congregation, as well as narratives for candle-lighting and inspired stories and scriptures for that suite's theme. The flexible choral texture makes it ideal as a one-rehearsal program for larger choirs or as an easily rehearsed program for smaller ensembles.
